    am27 replied to BadgerRNEmily's topic in General Nursing

    am27 replied to Vonqiqi's topic in General Students

    OP, I actually have an answer for you. If it looks like a cheap, trashy, bleach blonde job (I'm picturing Christina Aguilera's hair 10 years ago that coordinated so well with her sketchy spandex...

  16. Kaplan NCLEX Review

    am27 replied to MsAshley's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I definitely feel that it helped. Our class was taught the decision tree, and even though I found myself jumping off the decision tree, falling out of it, and arguing against it, I stuck to it and I'm...

  17. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    am27 replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    am27 replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students
